BANK DRIVE, the road between Asian Development Bank (ADB) and SM Megamall in Ortigas, will now be open to motorists from 6-10 a.m. daily, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced yesterday. MMDA said the four-hour window would ease traffic congestion in the area during rush hour. Previously, motorists from EDSA going to the Ortigas commercial and business district pass through Guadix Drive, where there is usually a “long queue of vehicles entering the ADB compound” for inspection. “Guadix Road is an identified chokepoint. With this road opening, we can somehow ease traffic flow in the busy area,” said MMDA acting General Manager Jose Arturo S. Garcia.
